A not insignificant update to the game is now available that corrects many bugs from the last update and addresses a few outstanding issues. Check the downloads section for the link and detailed information.

2016.08.08 - Final RM2K3 Release

The long awaited update is now available in the downloads section. This is the final RPG Maker 2003 version, with only minor bug fixes expected in the future. The old forums are now defunct. All discussion has moved to rpgmaker.net, the new official host.

2015.06.03 - RM2K3 English Release

The release of an official English translation of RPG Maker 2003 complicates the future of the Everlong project. I'd still like to finish the additional content and changes that were always planned but cut from previous versions, but it remains unclear whether certain patches the game requires will be within the license agreement. Regardless of continued updates, it is highly unlikely I'd commercialize the project without a new engine.

2014.02.19 - Condition Bug

Apparently there's a condition bug in RM2K3 I forgot and introduced into the game with the last update. Apply the v3.27 patch if conditions are never abating during battle. I've corrected the issue in the full package download as well, but am not changing the version number.

2014.02.17 - Unexpected Update

The annual update was missed last year, but I'm still supporting the Everlong project. With this release comes both a new full version download and patch. There are numerous bug fixes, a complete overhaul of skill costs, and hunting grounds now spawn randomized loot. Percentage based skill costs have been replaced with a growth curve, making maximum MP gains relevant. The items in hunting grounds adjust based on need, so players can focus expenditures on weapons and equipment. This also remedies the encounter rate issue where players reached too high a level and could no longer battle monsters for money. Also worth mentioning, many skills now have additional effects at all levels or in their most powerful form, and Julia's notorious back story has been altered, albeit not developed. Read the full change log. Once again time prevented several considerations, and I'm still unable to apply Cherry's Dynpatch to fix several outstanding issues, including the battle speed algorithm. A port to the TURBU engine remains a future possibility. As always, thank you to the players for suggestions and reporting issues.

09.29.12 - Yearly Bug Fix

Hey Everlong players, time for a yearly patch update! A few boss adjustments, the correction of Katana Soul's ridiculous HP, and miscellaneous other fixes. If I didn't screw anything up, I'll upload a new full version and battle portrait patch in the future.
